Firmly seconding this. And in cases where the defensive party is significantly physically stronger than the aggressive party, it becomes significantly more complicated and difficult to parse, because...I mean, I'm a twig and I have male friends who, if I was thrashing and they so much as grabbed me hard, they would leave me injured -- bruised or sprained at the very least. If I started throwing objects at them and they grabbed me and wrenched the object out of my hands, they could easily injure me. I was actively trying to claw and bite them and they pinned me down physically, it would instantly become sexually threatening, given that they were physically on top of me and there was no way I could fight them off.

And in the heat of the moment, it's expecting a LOT of someone to expect them to be perfectly, 100% in control of their strength. It's reasonable to expect the defensive party not to start swinging--not to become the dominant aggressor themselves because they're angry. But it's rarely that cut and dried. And if you add substance use/abuse into the scenario? If one or both parties are not sober during the altercation? Yikes.

I'm not saying that's what happened with Depp and Heard. I don't know what happened with Depp and Heard. But I definitely agree that domestic altercations, and the question of what's abuse and what's self defense can be very, very complicated.

No, because there is no such thing as mutual abuse, when it comes to DV situations

STOP. BLAMING. THE. VICTIM!!!
